Hulk Hogan was billed at 303 lbs because Rocky was billed at 202 lbs and because they wanted to make the difference between him and monster heels seem bigger than it really was.
Here's Hogan billed at 6'8"+ 341 lbs.
Hogan isn't even at his peak size here.
Hogan on Johnny Carson and other peak weight appearances could easily been billed at 375 lbs+.Click Here
Hogan was WELL over 300 lbs at real peak weight.
He could have been anywhere between 325 and 350 lbs, but I don't know the exact figure.

Once again, you are clueless. Bill Fralic was known more massive than Hogan as his biggest?! What a joke. You are just making a complete assumption about what Hogan would have been billed at. I live in the real world. I've been friends/acquaintances with dozens of big tall guys. I myself am a big heavy muscular guy. I know what I'm talking about when I tell you Hogan was at least 290 lbs at his heaviest and probably was over 300 lbs at certain points. Just look at him on Johnny Carson. He was easily around 6'5" 300 lbs. He was huge. By the way Hogan was billed at nearly 340 lbs in 1980 at Shea Stadium against Andre.

You are the one who is clueless and living in a fantasyworld. Funny how you even could bring up such nonsense that Hogan was billed 340 lbs in 1980 and using that in some desperate attempt of excuse, when in fact Hogan did became fatter in late 80's but still billed much less - around 297-303. And atleast i did a fair comparison with someone of similar size i.e Fralic, you on the other hand is comparing Hogan to Johhny Carson (LOL!) and posted some random pictures with no size references at all.

Yes, and I promise you he was at least 290 lbs. He probably drifted between 285 lbs and 305 lbs in his prime during the 70s and 80s. Even in 1990, Hogan looked at least 30 lbs heavier than legit 260 lb Ultimate Warrior. Actually, I almost forgot that Tiny Lister went spoke in detail about Hogan's height and weight in 1988/1989. Click Here

At 3:56, Lister comments on Hogan accidentally breaking his nose during "No Holds Barred". He said, "when a 300 lb man hits another 300 lb man, something gives, and it was my nose."

He also said he was 287 before filming and got up to 305 and that he and Hogan were both 6'5". Hogan was 6'5"/6'5.5" and AROUND 300 lbs. Game over.

Everyone by now should realize that this straightahead person is just out to get a rile out if you. The posts this individual makes are ludicrous and rediculous to say the least lol. Hogan has been billed anywhere between 6'6" once or twice to 6'9". He was always listed at 6'8" and just over 300lbs by the WWF. As for how someone says they would never lost them lighter, ah yes they would and do if they wanted the monsters Hogan wrestled to seek that much bigger than him and make the odds overwhelming. Hogan fluctuated between 310-330 lbs throughout his career depending on his schedule and when he was using roids more or less depending on injuries. I've said it before, I met him when young and again at 61and he was well over 300lbs easily then, today he is at least in the 290lb range. He is also still around 6'4" and was for sure over 6'6" before loosing height from injuries and surgery. Now do what I do and ignore Straightaheads comment that follows this lol

dicksock, you're the one not knowing what you are talking about. If Hogan was "well over 300 lbs" irl then he would had been billed 350+ to say atleast, more likely 400+. Thats math for kids... Legit 6'5 280 lbs Bill Fralic is a good comparison, and he looked both taller and more massive next to John Studd than what Hogan ever did.

So can we end this crap now?

Steve, Samuelsson was a legit 6'6 and usually weighed 144-148 kg (316-325 lbs) during his competition, often rounded up to 150 kg (330 lbs) and he had legit 24 inch arms.

This is getting ridiculous... the fankids in here believe that the biggest name in wrestling was bigger(!) than his BILLED(!) stats. LOL! Fact is that Hogan was not even CLOSE to Magnus size, even when he was bigger than usually (fatter) in late 80's and in 1990 he was billed 303 lbs but in reality he was 280 tops and his arms were nothing more than 20. And how could he been 330 lbs at some point?! in late 70's when he was making his debut he didnt look to be over 260 lbs, especially considering that he was tops 6'4

You have no clue what you're talking about. I have known dozens of people in my life above 6'4". My best friend at one time was, for a fact, just a shade below 6'5" and about 245 lbs. He was not a huge guy by any means. Hogan was easily 6'5" or more and well above 300 lbs at his heaviest. He was an extremely muscular man. His arms very well could have been 24". I doubt they were above 22", but that is still huge. Look at him at his biggest: Click HereClick HereClick HereClick HereClick Here

Kevin Nash said before he became a Wrestler was @ a Wrestling show and he said he was surprised Hogan was 6ft 4 not 6ft 9 like they had billed him and this was probably in the early 80's And he knows hogan good now so i assume the 6ft 4 guess was right ??
_________________________________________

I've told the story many times here. In 1980 Hogan stopped right next to my family on his way to the ring. He was slightly taller than my 6'4 1/2"ish at the time Grandfather. The more I talk to my Mother about my Grandfathers height the more I believe Hogan was at least 6'5" but no more than 6'5.5"

Steve said on 2/Dec/16
Undertaker Frank there is no way Hogan was only 6ft 4 at his peak, he was an absolute minimum 6ft 5 and a solid 6ft 5 at that. I have no trouble believing he was 6ft 5.5 when he was younger (late 70's early 80s). He never looked over 6ft 6 though. His arms may have been 23 - 24 inches at their largest, remember Hogan was 330lbs at one point in the early 80s. He was a similar size (height and weight) to Magnus Samuelsson (strongman) who had 24 inch arms.

I just came across this video of Hogan that I haven't seen in many years. It's his appearance on the Rachel Ray show from 2008. During this appearance, she measured Hogan's arms, and they were still 20". Clearly if they were 20" in 2008, they would have been at least 22" at his absolute biggest. Click Here

This has no relationship to his height, but I think Hogan's arms were about 22" at their biggest. I have no reason to believe that Rachel Ray was kayfabing her audience, and Hogan's arms still looked pretty impressive. But if you look at him on the Johnny Carson show, I think his arms were much bulkier their and probably not too far from the 24" billing. Again, probably around 22".

Just YouTube Hogan arm measure, they measure his arm on Vinces show.. They come out to 24 inches and they even do a close up of it, I'm guessing everyone will say it's fake lol

i think 196-198 is all believeble heights for him peak but strong 196 guy ore weak 197 guy is my best guess ( andre the giant never looked 7 foot to me) today he looks 191 but i think if he managed to get measured agains a wall he could still be 192 ore couple milimeters over. he can hardly walk

Sammartino was hugely charismatic, he wouldn't have sold out MSG a record number of times or been champion for best part of 15 years if he didn't have something. Wrestling in the 50s-70s was much different than the cartoon era of the 80s that Vince Jr ushered in. Sammartino wouldn't have been as successful in the 80s and 90s obviously but Hogan wouldn't have been as successful in the 60s-70s either, he would likely have been booked as generic midcard heel during that period.

I don't think anyone can really determine #1 in pro wrestling. If you are Mexican then nobody is bigger than Santo. Many in Japan would go with Rikidozan, people that grew up in the UK in the early 80s would say Big Daddy, if you were around in the 40s-early 50s you would probably say Gorgeous George and tons of historians still have Frank Gotch as #1

Austin drew more money in 1998-99 than anyone in history but his peak was cut short due to injury. Piper, undertaker, savage are not in the running for top 10 all time draws; Flair, Sammartino, Jim Londos, Lou Thesz, Bill Longston, Strangler Lewis and Buddy Rodgers were all legit main-eventers nearly there whole career and headlined more big drawing shows than piper, taker or savage. Savage really only was a top top guy in 1988-89 and piper in Portland and 1985 in wwf. Both could have been massive had Vince had faith in them. Piper and Hogan should have mainevented mania 2 not Bundy who stunk and Savage should have beaten Hogan at mania 5

Absolutely no question Hulkamania was the single, most defining, best thing to ever happen to pro wrestling. Hogan was the right guy at the right time, and as great as the guys you mentioned are, or were, timing is everything.

Boss is right! Most charismatic & biggest crossover star in Pro Wrestling History! Hulk & The Rock are 1A & 1B...Too close to call. If Hulk would've had all the TV coverage & Social Media in the 1980's that excist today & throughout the 2000's ??...this debate wouldn't even be close....IMO?? Rock is awesome ...but, Hulk changed the game forever!

Boss said on 27/Nov/16
Hulk may of had a tired routine in the ring after seeing it over and over but he was actually a pretty good worker much better than he gets credit for. Hogan had more charisma in his pinky finger than Sammartino had in his whole body. The Hulk Hogan character was easily the greatest of all time and it's not even close. You can argue over 2nd to 10th but Hulk will always be #1. Andre, Stone Cold, Piper, Savage, Rock, Taker were all the biggest draws of their time at some point but Hulk is biggest draw of all-time. Hulk and Vince built sports entertainment as we know it.

Leonardo, yes sir...Bruno definitely momentarily went off script and Let us all know that Hogan was actually 6'5" & change likely (6'5.5")...since he also said possibly 6'6"...and.... (not 6'7") , about 320 lbs with 22" inch arms (not 24")...even though being obviously set up by Vince to boast about how big the Incredible Hulk Hogan was...who Vince SR was billing at the time @ 6'8" & 320-325 lbs with 24" arms & 60" chest. I think Bruno gave Hogan's real measurements on purpose. Do to the fact that he did not like Hulk Hogan & couldn't stand the fact that the McMahon's were giving such a strong push from day one on a man who had next to zero real wrestling skills...LOL!

__________________

Wow, you are reading WAY too much in to his comments. There were no scripts back then for him to go off of. He was probably just honestly estimating Hogan's height and measurements. He had nothing against Hogan. In case you don't know, Hogan had about as much technical wrestling skills as Bruno. Bruno was like the Hogan of his day. He was never a Dory Funk or Jack Brisco in the ring. He was a punch/kick power guy who did a little bit of "scientific" wrestling. I've heard Lord Alfred Hayes estimate the Undertaker's height at 6'6" or 6'7" in 1991. It wasn't because he didn't like Taker, he was probably just guessing. But yes, Hogan was very obviously more like 6'5"/6'5.5" than 6'7".

6'6 is unreasonable.

Thats also an interesting show you linked dicksock, Dwayne Johnson also appeared on it apparently in 08' and he looks the same next to her as Hogan.

So Hogan was the same height as Peak "The Rock" in 08'.

Johan said on 25/Nov/16
Hogan's arms were measured on live TV at 24 inches ( peak ofc). I remember that Vince Mcmahon was the host at the time.

David Banner said on 24/Nov/16
@Junior31 - I think your real close on his height of 6'2.5" today.
He may even be down to 6'2". A friend of mine took a pic with
him side by side at a signing a couple years ago. I took a pic
with my friend in a similar side by side position and I am the same
height as Hulk in comparison. I'm 6'1.75" barefoot.
There's no doubt he's lost height since his 20's but I don't think
he's lost 3".

How could Hogan be 6-6 if Undertaker and Psycho Sid who are both listed at that height on this site had at least an inch each(closer to 2) on him in the early 90's?

________________

Undertaker's peak height is listed at 6'7.5" on this site bro. Sid's peak height is listed as 6'6.75". Honestly, Taker and Sid were both about 6'7" peak and Hogan was about 6'5.5". Both Sid and Taker are about 6'5.5"-6'6" today and Hogan is roughly 6'3" or a tad more.

RYAN11 said on 12/Nov/16
Cobra; answer to that is easy, Sid was over 6'7"and wore big lifts to make him over 6'9" in his boots, and Taker was over 6'8" barefoot. Taker never looked any more than an inch taller than Hogan in the early 90's. Hogan despite what some try to purport on here as truth has lost over 3" of height he can't get back. He was down to 6'4", then had his spins fixed finally which gets him closer to 6'5" if he bothers to stand straight and tall which he seldom does. I've personally seen him and met him both when he was young in his 30's and when he was 61 years young and he lost a tremendous amount of height. Hip replacements and knee replacements along with bone being shaved down and removed from his joints combined with the big curve at the bottom of his spine is the reason and anyone who says different is in denial.

Bret and Shawn were 2 inches shorter than Curt Hennig and Hennig was 1.5 inches shorter than 6'3 nfl listed Steve Jordan

I can't even make out Bret's footwear in your clip

I met Bret in 2001 as well and he didn't look easily 6ft then, of course a 6ft+ Bret would increase the heights of Bulldog, Owen, Pillman, Neidhart among others
______________________________________
I met Shawn Michaels in a bar back in the late 80's. He looked around 6'1" in the cowboy boots he was wearing, so his barefoot height was probably around 5'11'", and Hart always looked about an inch taller to me, but I've also heard that Brett wore lifts

Again more Jake the Snake related info, here he is with Tony Todd, who's below 6'5 today. Not the best picture to compare sure, but amazingly does it not look like Jake could be pushing 6'5 now? Maybe he was a 6'6 early on

I met Bret around same time as Rob and he is my height..he was also easily an inch shorter than Cena on flat ground side by side at Summerslam 2010. Many here think Cena is flat 6ft so where does that leave Bret @11mins 53 seconds Click Here

Bret was easily 6' in his prime. By 2010, he was nothing compared to how he was in his heyday. Ric Flair was about 5'11" in 1998. Here is Bret looking noticeably taller: Click Here

Take away Flair's hair, and they is no way Hart was less than 1" taller and could look as much as 2" taller really.

Austin was taller than me in person but not 6'1. He does not look 6'1 in WCW circa 1993 next to Pillman (who was supposedly measured under 5'9) or Barry Windham who was same height as Dustin Rhodes at the time in identical footwear. Rhodes can't have been more than 6'4 given he was edged out by Conan O'Brien in the mid 1990s.

Prichard no question was 5'10 when I met him and he was only very early 40s then

__________

You don't have to be much taller than a 6'4" guy to be 6'5"... As 6'5" Tiny Lister said, he and Hogan were both 6'5". Hogan may have been more like 6'5.5", but that's it. As far as your in-person estimates, I will just say that I'm skeptical. I'm not skeptical that you met them, I just think you are underestimating their heights. Austin is listed as 6'1.25" on this site. He always looked around 6'1". Rob has met an old Bret Hart and still thought he looked 6' (which he was), and Austin had an inch on Hart. Click Here

He may give off the impression of a 6' guy, but he was every bit 6'1" in his prime. The only other explanation is he wore some type of lifts in his WWE footwear.

Interesting thread on wrestler's height here, saying Hogan and Jake Roberts were easily over 6'4-6'5 for the most part, both men possibly touching 6'6 as well as how Barry Windham could have been in that range too

Prichard no question was 5'10 when I met him and he was only very early 40s then

Dustin said on 28/Oct/16
And since when was Hogan ever billed at 6'5.5"? I will wait...

It's funny how people that are obviously wrong, and lack the ability to use common sense to come to rational conclusions automaticity label those who disagree with their bs arguments as fankids. I have no dog in this fight dude, just calling it as I see it. You are like that silly person that will no matter how many times they are proven wrong, won't admit it. So please troll, just give it up. Move on. You are out of your element Donnie lol

Rob, did he lost 7 cm?This is so much for 63 years old.

Editor Rob: I think all the damage to his spine made him lose a few inches, plus knee damage.

Cowboy boots with 2" heels actually only raise you're measured height by 1.75" ...due to the downward slope off the boot into the toe...you're not standing on a level 2" box...you are wearing a boot/shoe with a 2" heel...with the front half of the shoe sole only being 1.25 to 1.33" ...I've don't the experiment myself ...2" cowboy boots boost your measured height by 1.75",,, and ..2" heel logger work boots raise your measured height by 1.875"...so, a 6'5.5" to 6'5.75" barefoot Hogan would've been 6'7.25" to 6'7.5" in 2" heel cowboy boots.

He also didn't look 6'7 in shoes next to 5'10 lance Russell in the 1970s or 6'7 in wrestling boots in the early 1980s next to Seiji Sakaguchi who was listed 195cm in judo back in the 1960s..i mean if he was 6'7 in 1.25 inch wrestling gear he should have stood nearly 6'8 in cowboys and if you watch the a-team from 1985 its clearly obvious he ain't 6'8 in footwear there next to Davey Boy Smith, or any of the gang (Mr T, Peppard, Benedict)

Dustin said on 22/Oct/16
Chet was taller than Michael Jordan who was not 6'6", but more like 6'4.5" to 6'5". Chet looks every bit of 6'6" to me. Hogan was taller than 6'4" peak and if anyone says any different they have an agenda. He was probably 6'5.5 peak barefoot and close to 6'7" in his ring gear

David said on 22/Oct/16
Chet looks 6'7" next to 6'4.75" Michael Jordan.Click Here
The camera tilt greatly favors Chet in the Hogan pic. Look at the bricks on the wall to see what horizontal is.
Chet is also closer to the camera, giving him another advantage.
Look at how much higher Hogan's eyes are than Chet's. Hogan would be noticeably taller if Chet shaved his head and there was,no camera advantage.

Chet doesnt look to be anywhere near 6'6 compared to Otis & Jimbo... and btw, are you even for real?! THE OTHERS are the ones bending/leaning!, while Hogan is the only one standing straight.

Chet peaked 6'4 at best

No, actually there's an endless amount of evidence of height loss. It's just that your a dumb troll who just wants to mess with the people on this page. You must have never seen the episode of Hogan Knows Best where it literally shows his spine all crooked. According to legit 6'5" Tiny Lister, Hogan was 6'5" in 1989.
Click Here

All the evidence in the world shows Hogan was at least 6'5" in his prime and is around 6'3"-6'4" now. Then again, you're the same troll who claimed Roddy Piper didn't lose any height. Not to mention Hogan is 63 years old and the average man loses 1cm every decade past 40. But, that just shows how stupid you are. Just another clown that acts like he knows everything when in reality he doesn't know jack. Also, your little comparison of him and The Rock DOES show him to be over an inch taller than Rock. But, of course you're too dumb to see it. What a joke.

WOW. "crooked spine"? when coming from the one who said Andre weighed 700+ lbs in WM3 then it doesnt mean much, but i guess you believe that too, kid.

Instead of focus on me in your entire post you could had bring up some evidence, but you ofcourse didnt. Wondering who the troll is... and your too dumb to take Hogans lift in account, plus he was the one closer to the camera in those comarison pics with Vader. Theres absolutely no way that Hogan was 6'5 in the 80's (he has never been) he barely looked 6'4 and if he wasnt 6'4 he was shorter than that, not taller. Here we have your peak 80's Hogan struggling with 6'4 next to 6'4 listed Jimbo Covert and 6'2 listed Otis Wilson Click Here and here we have 6'5 Frank Thomas next to Otis Click Here

Considering how much taller 6'5 Frank Thomas looked next to Otis than what ever Hogan did in his peak, Jimbo's and Oti's listed heights probably included footwear so theres a posibility that Hogan could had been only 6'3 peak

He was clearly pretty tall back in the day and lost a lot of height due to his knee/back injuries etc.

It's about a current 6'3 and a bit in the morning and close to 6'7 peak but not quite 6'7 from me.

Dicksock; first off the line goes accords to the top of Jakes head only cutting through his hair and he was clearly 2 inches shorter than Hogan there while in Cowboy boots and Jake was a solid string 6'5" plus guy at the time. Also, yes other guys did leg drops without loosing height that early but they didn't do it every match and weee not running while jumping that high in the air, this in addition to the fact that Hogan was well over 300lbs all those years so by his mid 30's he was easily down an inch. I really love how the earlier post of the Aikman pics clearly show Hogan even to slightly taller than Troy in a full body shot with his legs bent a lot dropping his height by an inch or two while Troy is standing as tall and straight as he could.

Even with a somewhat curved spine, Hogan was still noticeably taller than PEAK Jake Roberts. There is,also an interesting photo of Hogan's curved spine on page 3.

________

The line is drawn through Jake's head. There are numerous other clips of them together where they look the same height. Hogan was a solid 6'5" guy, but that's it. The idea that he lost height or had a curved spine in 1987 is laughable. He was in perfect shape and was only 33/34 years old. You do realize that many wrestlers do leg drops or other similar moves and do not shrink from it. Hogan didn't shrink from leg drops. He shrank from decades of steroid abuse. His back deteriorated just like Superstar Billy Graham's. There is absolutely zero evidence that proves Hogan lost any real height even by the mid 90s much less 1987. He was probably 6'5.5" tops in his prime, 6'5" by the time he became Hollywood Hogan, 6'4" by the time he came back to WWE, and 6'3.5" by the time he got to TNA. He's probably still somewhere in the 6'3" range and maybe closer to 6'4" in the morning. A overall height loss of about 2" is believable and fair.

This interview was done first thing in the morning and you can see how tall he looks next to guys of normal height in the beginning of the video.

Barely looks 6ft nowadays and lost most of strength.
Sad to hear all the bad news about him but I doubt he was ever 6 7.
He did look very big in a few b movies but 6 4 is still very big and he has long arms and was quite big muscle wise.

David said on 7/Oct/16
The Hulkster was losing height well before the surgeries. He was losing height with every leg drop. It may have been 1/1000 of an inch per leg drop, but it was height loss regardless.
Anyone whose seen the x-rays of Hogan grotesquely curved spine realizes that he lost height WELL before his first knee, hip,neck, or back surgery.

This is why only 1970s Hogan was his true peak height. Hogan stacked up treaty well against 6'5.95" barefoot John Tenta.

Jake was leaner/less muscular than Hogan. Both men were basically the same height with the slight edge going to Hogan. Hogan did dwarf 6'1"-6'2" Ultimate Warrior. I think Hogan peaked somewhere in the 6'5" range for his average daily height. I'll just give him 6'5.5" peak and 6'3" now. He could have definitely been 6'6" out of bed and 6'5" at night.

He looked a little taller than usual in that clip. I think Bossman was about 6'4" and Hogan was a tad over 6'5", maybe 6'5.25"-6'5.5".

Bossman was a known heel wearer, and btw he was shorter than the 6'3 Ottman/Typhoon and and he had only 1 inch on the almost 6'2 Sting Click HereClick Here

I would say absolute tallest was almost a full 6'3 for Bossman but most likely 6'2 1/2.

RP said on 24/Sep/16
Mayfield ...that video is perplexing ...Big Boss Man looks the same height as Hogan...footwear tricks? Hmmm? Because in all other pics & videos from 1988-1991, Hogan was always about 2" taller. Ray (Big Boss Man) is one of about a dozen or so pro wrestlers I have meet in my life ...meet him in Greenville, SC in 1999...I can personally confirm he was only 6'3"...6'3.5" max in 1999.

Hogan 3.5" taller than Ali
Hogan 5.5" taller than Piper
Hogan 6.5" taller than Orndorff
Hogan 7.5" taller than Mr. T
Piper looked to have a solid 2" on Mr T, at times Piper appears 6" shorter than Hogan...at other times he only looks 4.75" to 5" shorter than Hogan. On average Hogan looked 5.25" to 5.5" taller than Piper.

Just watch Wrestlemania 1 or 2 if you don't believe Hogan was ever 6'7.

The guy was huge back then. Andre The Giant wasn't that much bigger than him.

Chris said on 4/Sep/16
Hogan got a lot of his height back, by the way, through his successful back surgery, 3 years ago.

He went down to a low of about 6'2 in about 2004. But after his surgery he's 6'4 or 6'5.

I saw a picture of him with Lebron James last year and there is no way he's 6'2 any more. Lebron had about 3 inches on him.

Chris said on 4/Sep/16
I've just been watching Wrestlemania 1 and Hogan is huge in that. He's literally almost a foot taller than Mr T.

He looks an easy 6'7 back then. He's a giant.

JT have you ever posted you own thoughts on Terrys height? Peak? Now? Or no height loss? Just wonderingen since you post a lot of photos of hulk. I've been around on this site but can't recall your claims of his height?

I used to think 6’6” here (and 6’8” when I was a kid...) but am leaning more towards 6’5” peak and 6’3” current.

^ sounds right. 6'5 peak and around 6'3 today. Tanks JT

Danimal said on 22/Aug/16
He's losing more and more height (more hip replacements, back and knee surgeries and neck fused). He's at best 6'2" today:

Canson said on 21/Aug/16
@James B: he couldn't have been much more in tip top peak maybe 6'5.5. One poster's father below met him in the 80s (Bobby3342) and said he had him by an inch he was 6'6 himself. Hogan wore boots a lot and another wrestler called him 6'5.

miko said on 17/Aug/16
Hogan is easily taller in that photo with Lou, are you blind?

Easy 6'3 in 2016.

Canson said on 16/Aug/16
Straightahead's estimate is in line with Ali Baba's (who met Ferrigno). He said 6'2-6'2.5. I can buy a peak Lou at most 192cm (maybe 6'3.5) possibly lowball peak 6'3.25 and an absolute peak Hogan at a solid 197 (afternoon) maybe 196-197

Johan said on 16/Aug/16
Hogan looks 2 cm taller than Lou.

Hogan - 190-191 cm today about 6'3"

Lou - 188-189 cm Just over 6'2".

RP said on 15/Aug/16
Lou & Terry look the exact same height in that pic!!! Actually analyze closely ...line up top of grads minus Lou's hair, Hogan's sunglasses...then line up eyes, brows, nose & mouth's...Hogan actually comes out 1/4" (0.25") taller ...even with his slight lean & brad in his artificial hip. BTW...isn't this pic a year old? This pic tells me Hogan: 6'3" to 6'3.25" & Lou: 6'2.75 to 6'3" ...BTW: peak Lou was a weak 6'4"...more like 6'3.75 (true barefoot) according to my friend and former pro bodybuilder John DeFendis. He said Lou was right at 6'5" in sneakers ...barely 6'4" barefoot...more like 6'3.75"

bigmike74 said on 15/Aug/16
@Danimal find the full body shot of that pic Hogan is bending his legs in a crouched down position and Lou is standing straight. From what i see even in this pic Hogan edges him out so add a inch if Hogan straightened up.

straightahead said on 15/Aug/16
Danimal, well Hogan is still very close to 6'3 even to this day, Ferrigno perhaps 6'2 1/2. BTW impressive arms, who would you pick in a arm wrestling match between the two?

Danimal said on 15/Aug/16
Rob, you didn't post my comment?

Aza said on 14/Aug/16
Agree with Rampage...... Pretty close if not bang on 6'6 peak.

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 12/Aug/16
I think he was legitimately 6ft6 in the evening peak

Canson said on 11/Aug/16
@Miko: your estimate is a good one and is the most believable. 198 out of bed 196 at night or 197.5/195.5ish

bigmike74 said on 11/Aug/16
Hogan got out of bed around 6'6.5" to 6'7" and was between 6'6" & 6'5.75" during the day prime. Now probably gets out of bed at 6'4.5" and walks around during the day at 6'4" to 6'3.5" depending on time of day.

6'6 fresh out of bed is the highest I can go for Hulk.

Likely closer to 6'5 throughout the day, 6'3 today.

@HeightcrazyRed6ft said on 8/Aug/16
Tenta was 0.25-0.5" taller than Hogan, there is no point in a fight where Tenta stood as straight as Hogan (example around fingerpoint/Hulkup).

Tenta was taller next to Typhoon/Tugboat and Big Bossman than Hogan was...
Each Tenta-Mene Gene comparison shows him taller than Hogan next to Mene Gene....

Dustin said on 5/Aug/16
So I went back and watched the match between Hogan and Earthquake, Hogan to my eye was slightly taller. Footwear looked similar. I feel the 6'6" peak is a good estimation.

straightahead said on 4/Aug/16
@Jim Hopper said on 3/Aug/16
Tenta said in a Japanese wrestling magazine I had in the mid 90s that he was 6-5" flat in socks,same as Hogan was. Also said Hulk would wear slightly beefed up cowboy boots giving him a good 2 and 1/2 to 3" inch increase on his 6-5". So yeah he was near 6-8" in boots. End of the interview Tenta claimed wwf bulled on heights massively,Ultimate warrior was billed @ 6-4" and Tenta said he was a shade over 6-1" in socks.

---
Like i said earlier Tenta was indeed listed 6'5 in sumo so that only confirms that. The 6'5 3/4 measurment could have been in shoes, or its simply a typo, or just bs. Either way he was tops 6.5. So if they can find a way to list someone taller, then why not? just look at UFC, they are competing barefeet but being measured in shoes, + rounds up.

Canson said on 3/Aug/16
@Danimal: I doubt he's lost 3 or 4". That's far fetched. But Probably 2" maybe a hair over. I can imagine at his absolute peak (prior to the wrestling career) he may have been 6'5.5 making him near the 197cm line (near lowest) then 6'5 for the remainder of his prime and now maybe 6'3-6'3.5. But out of bed, this guy couldve easily in his true prime been 199cm maybe 6'6.5ish and lost an inch.

Canson said on 3/Aug/16
@Dicksock: your estimate for Hulk looks good. I'm an advocate of him being somewhere between 6'5-6'5.5 prime. Maybe prior to wrestling he would've been a legit 196.5-197 guy and Prob 196.2-196.5 in the 80s. adds up to what a poster below who's father is 6'6 and 6'5.75 at his lowest and met him said).

Hogan & Earthquake Tenta always basically appeared the exact same height to me from 1989-1991 when they'd match up face to face.
25% of the time Hogan may have looked 1/4 to 1/2 inch taller...and 25% of the time Tenta would look 1/4 to 1/2 taller than Hogan...but, 50% & the overwhelming majority of the time, the two men looked the exact same height. Sumo's get measures barefoot...Tenta was 6'5-7/8" @ age 23...by his late 30's he was most likely 6'5-1/2" @ best after carrying around 420 to 450 lbs for 15 plus years. Wouldn't even rule out a flat 6'5" for Tenta by age 40 @ 420-450 lbs of compression.

straightahead said on 2/Aug/16
dustin; thats not a picture showing Hogan to be taller, thats just a captured moment where Hogan appeared taller. Why dont watch the match instead? Tenta is the taller one.

RP said on 2/Aug/16
Docksock is spot on with Hogan! 6'5.5" to 6'5.75" peak barefoot height!

dustin said on 2/Aug/16
Earthquake could have been measured barefoot as well. And if anyone can show me a picture of Tenta being 1" taller than Hogan i will be more than open to changing my opinion. The 1990 pictures of Hogan and Quake during their feud shows Hogan to be taller. Not by much, but taller nonetheless

dicksock said on 2/Aug/16
Earthquake was actually referenced as 6'5.95" (6'6"):Click Here

He was 198cm and that was wrongly converted to 6'5.75". It is really 6'5.95".

Here is him next to Hogan:Click HereClick Here (looks slightly tilted in Quake's favor if you look at the angle of the rope)

Again, both 6'5" Tiny Lister and the 6'6" Chet Coppock (ring announcer from WM 2) claimed 6'5"-6'6" for Hogan (Lister claimed 6'5" and Coppock claimed 6'5"-6'6"). Their claims combined with all the overwhelming visual evidence proves Hogan was 6'5"-6'6" in his prime. I think 6'5.5" prime and 6'3.5" now would be an ideal listing here.

James B said on 31/Jul/16
Earthquake could have been measured in the morning or even in shoes at 6'5.75.

Karl said on 30/Jul/16
There was a commercial recently with both Hulk Hogan and Troy Aikman. Aikman had him by about an inch (cant see lower body so no telling what kind of shoe each was wearing) and NFL always had Troy listed at 6'4"

@dustin said on 27/Jul/16
Hogan looked as tall, or even a bit taller than Earthquake John Tenta who was measured as a sumo wrestler at 6'5.75". I think the 6'6" listing is spot on.

Tenta was also listed 6'5 in sumo (196 cm) and he had 1 inch on Hogan.
TY Canson, so does you =)

Canson said on 24/Jul/16
@Bigmike74: actually Straightahead makes good points on some of the people he comments. Hogan's height will always be a topic of debate just because he has been listed as high as 6'8" but described as low as 6'3" that's the case with all of the bigger wrestlers to portray that larger than life image. Example they listed Tyler Mane 6'10 when in his peak he was likely between 6'7 and 6'8 (he's no more than 6'7 these days but not sure if that's his peak or whether he was really 6'8). Ditto for Taker. Was likely only 6'7 range peak not 6'9 or 10. I don't think Hulk was as low as 6'3" peak but I do believe he was (at his absolute peak height 196-197 range tops maybe 6'5.5) and likely still 6'5 into the early 90s. Maybe he rounded up to 6'6 but another wrestler described both he and Hogan as 6'7 in boots 6'5 barefoot and Hogan once described himself as 6'5. Possibly the interview you showed me was a rounded height or (and this part I definitely see) he was 6'6 (198cm) range out of bed and 196 range at night and used morning height

so overall heightloss after ~35 years of wrestling 2-2.5". The biggest loss was after 2000 when his spine collabsed.

_______________

I would say Hogan was never more than 6'5"-6'5.5" barefoot. He may have worn lifts to make him look taller in the 80s/early 90s. He looked no more than 6'5" as Hollywood Hogan in 1996-1998 even though he wouldn't have lost any real height by that point. He was probably 6'4" by 2002 and 6'3" by the time he got to TNA. Today, he may be 6'3-6'3.5". So, he has lost about 2"-2.5" as you claimed.

Canson said on 23/Jul/16
Absolute most in his prime: In the 80s/90s Max 197-198 out of bed and 195-196. He was somewhere between 6'5-6'5.5 maybe in his prime on avg. maybe he could pull 6'6 out of bed back then and an easy 6'7 in cowboy boots. But today he's lucky if he's far over 6'3.

so overall heightloss after ~35 years of wrestling 2-2.5". The biggest loss was after 2000 when his spine collabsed.

Johan said on 22/Jul/16
To be fair HHH looks 6'1.5" alot nowadays, he doesn't look as long in the torso anymore.

Austin has admitted himself that he has shrunk over the years because of wrestling and injuries.

Maybe 6ft flat in undercooking him a little but he could be struggling with 6ft 1 today.

miko said on 21/Jul/16
Austin at 6'0 flat and HHH at 6'1 is comedy gold.

HHH still looks 6'2 today when he stands straight.

Canson said on 20/Jul/16
@Heightchecker34: my exact estimate. Maybe he was 197 absolute prime and 196 in the 80s always looked 6'5 range and I recall another wrestler calling him 6'5.

bigmike74 said on 20/Jul/16
@straightahead it's time you come out from your parents basement and join us normal people. I think your lack of sun light and fresh air plus the obvious mental set backs has really taken a tole on you.

@bigmike74, actually er4smiths has one of the best height estimations on this site. You on the other hand are living in a fantasy world, does 74 stand for your IQ?

heightchecker34 said on 19/Jul/16
For some reason, probably due to his fame and what he has done in the industry, I always believed Hogan was 6'7. Now, that I am a bit older and interested in heights, especially with wrestlers, it is clear he was 6'5. Maybe 6.5'5 peak, but never below. Present day he is around the 6'3 range with surgeries and due to old fashioned time. Essentially he lost around half an inch every decade since 1975.

Have fun thinking that. Just know that nobody here or anywhere else agrees with you. Other than ersmith or whatever his name is. Even if you actually think Trump was never above 6'1", Hogan was still 4" taller. By the way, Slaughter was a legit 6'3". He was about an inch taller than 6'2" HHH in the late 90s. Even the pic you posted of him and Warrior shows Slaughter to be taller. Just look at the top of their heads. Not only that, but Slaughter was giving Warrior a bearhug. Every wrestling fan knows that the guy giving the bearhug is going to losing height from doing the move. Yet, Slaughter was STILL taller than Warrior in that shot even though Warrior was standing straight as possible and Slaughter was leaning in with his knees bent.

Funny how they look the same height. There is plenty of footage that proves Vince was at least 6' in his prime. He could even look a solid 6'1" at times.
----

Warrior was most likely TOPS 6'1 1/2 so he could had been like 6'1, and in that video we can see that Vince was still shorter. Slaughter at 6'3 is pure BS, he only had 1 inch on a leaning Austin and he was also only a tad taller than Roddy Piper (who was only a tad taller than Bret) and no, Slaughter was not taller than HHH, in fact he was edged out by HHH.

_______________

You clearly know nothing. That pic of Slaughter and HHH you posted is about as worthless as the Slaughter/Warrior pic you posted. Watch this video and look from 5:15 to 5:20 for a real comparison. I would recommend pausing at 5:18 and also 5:37.Click Here

Not only does Slaughter look taller, but HHH has a sizable footwear advantage. I know attention to detail isn't your strong suit, but HHH's heels were pretty chunky in that segment whereas Slaughter was wearing flats. Even if they were the same height in that video, Slaughter would still be taller because of HHHs footwear advantage. Bottom line is Slaughter was 6'2.5" at an absolute minimum and probably 6'3".

So fact is, Slaughter was tops 6'1 1/2 - 6'2 range. and btw Hogan never had 4 inches on him, it was 3 or less. And it even get worse if we listen to posters like Danimal,, who claims Austin was never taller than 6'0 and HHH 6'1 1/4. With these heights to compare with, Slaughter was only 6'1

@straightahead are you serious? I don't lie. I tell the truth good, bad or otherwise. You should seriously consider looking into a mental health evaluation it's pretty clear that you are in very much need of help. Your height judgment is equal to Erik Rosenquist a.k.a er4smiths. I have numerous correctional officers and many L.E.O's who come to my gym in Jax Beach, Fl that's where i got my information from not from my personal opinion or guess please get the help you need before 1 day someone will figure out who you are and beat the holly hell out of you for being such a idiot a $$ hole.

Gene Hackman was actually diescribed as 6ft 4 in news articles back in the 80's. Nonsense ofc but he did look 6ft 2 next to the 6ft 4 Christopher Reeve.

Now even with Reeve being a smidge under 6ft 4 I still wouldn't have said that Hackman was much less than 6ft 2.

Hogan looks like a solid 6ft 5.5" inch there next to him. However in his ring attire he usually had big boots and so probably had a footwear advantage. I think he was more 6ft 5-6ft 5.5" personally rather than pushing 6ft 6.

Now with Big John Studd getting a 6ft 6.5" listing I think Hogan should be downgraded as he was an inch or so shorter.

Sgt. slaughter (Robert Remus) was 6'2.5" in his prime (billed 6'4") saw him a few years ago ...summer 2013...he was 6'1" to 6 1.5" n 2013.
Also, those who say 6'1.5" to 6'2" Ultimate Warrior looked taller than or same height as 6'2.5" Slaughter...well, less than 1" separated them anyways ...and never forget...Warrior wore "mild" lifts from 1987-1991 !

Studd loved walking on his tip toes. Mike Mooneyham a wresting journalist said Studd used to wear lifts inside his boots with Andre.

RP said on 15/Jul/16
Rampage: John Studd aka John Minton actually used to be very lean & lanky! Was a college basketball player. His own family & friends have talked openly about how Big John used massive amounts of HGH & steroids to add 100 lbs to his 6'7" frame. 6'6.5" to 6'7"-ish. John used HGH & steroids to go from a 6'7" & 230 lbs power forward to a 330 lbs monster! So, Big John was actually probably more naturally leaner than Hogan...if the two stayed natural...Hogan also has a tendancy to get pudgy in his teens & 20's.

A young and healthy (pre-multiple surgeries) towering 6'2" Gene Hackman and 6'2"/6'3" Donald Trump. He was every bit 6'6" at this stage of his life. Today he's the same height as Gene and Donald were in those pics (him next to a legit 6'4" Troy Aikman)

As usually you are making up heights just to fit in your Hogan 6'6 fantasy. Its the same case everytime time - only Hogan can shrink! but you still imagine a 60+ Gene Hackman to be 6'2 (if he ever was), and since was Trump 6'2-6'3?! he didnt even look 6'1 next to Vince McMahon.

_________________

You need to stop trolling bro. Donald Trump was every bit 6'2" in his prime, and was noticeably taller than Vince McMahon. I don't know how tall Gene Hackman was, but every site, including this one, lists him at 6'2". Hogan had at least 4" on him.

Even in his 60s, he still looked around 6'2" when standing to his full height. Obviously, he would have been taller in his 30s/40s. The average man shrinks .25"-.5" every decade from 40 onward. Trump is 70 now, so he could have easily been 1" taller in the pic with Hogan (26 years ago) than he is now. Those pics prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that Hogan was at least 6'5" in his prime and that he could have been 6'6". If you can't accept that, that's your problem.

Hogan and Sgt. Slaughter in 1991 (Hogan had inches on the then 6'3" Slaughter compared to Hogan and Sgt. Slaughter of today where Hogan is BARELY taller than a shrunken Slaughter as well (no way is he 6'3" at 67 and broken down as well). Need I say more?

Dennis Rodman had him easily by 1.5" maybe 2. Now possible Hulk had lost height when he took the pic but I'd say not more than 0.5-1". Hulk was 196-197 (6'5-6'5.5) prime. Maybe at peak 6'5.5 then 6'5 in the 80s- the 90s

Canson said on 13/Jul/16
@Big Mike: I was once arrested myself over10 years ago and didn't take my shoes off and wasn't asked to. I live in the states. Hogan however, I remember of of an interview where he said he was 6'5 not 6'7. I don't remember him saying he was 6'6" but if u can find it please show me

Height and weight wise he looked a very large guy and in fact he looked bigger built than Braun strowman

Editor Rob: I think I will put him on that mark yeah.

Actually they make you take your shoes off for mugshots.

No way, the reason for shoes in mughots is the simple fact that wanted people unlkey are on the run barefeet, logic suggests they have their shoes on. Im not american but im sure they always including footwear in their mugshots. Maybe someone from USA can verify?

There´s no rule...
I think Ali Baba said some do barefoot mugshots, others not.
Going through some mugshot gallerys show the same person at different heights in different mugshots...

A young and healthy (pre-multiple surgeries) towering 6'2" Gene Hackman and 6'2"/6'3" Donald Trump. He was every bit 6'6" at this stage of his life. Today he's the same height as Gene and Donald were in those pics (him next to a legit 6'4" Troy Aikman):

Those are very good quality pics. Hogan definitely had at least 4" on both those guys. He really looked 6'6".

As usually you are making up heights just to fit in your Hogan 6'6 fantasy. Its the same case everytime time - only Hogan can shrink! but you still imagine a 60+ Gene Hackman to be 6'2 (if he ever was), and since was Trump 6'2-6'3?! he didnt even look 6'1 next to Vince McMahon.

62B is correct ...they take your shoes & belt & anything else that could be a physical threat to yourself or anyone else when they arrest you & place you into a holding cell. And shortly after that, your are officially booked ...which includes your finger prints & mug shots. At this point you are usually wearing nothing but socks or state issued flip flops. I was once arrested for getting into a huge bar fight with a few of buddies of mine against a bunch of drunken knuckle heads ...all 12 of us got arrested ...this is how they booked us all that might. Different law enforcement centers may have diferent procedure though.

@Canson he corrected the reporter by saying 6'6" and it was in Germany fact. Dude was bigger than 6'5".
@straightahead when they process you prior to mugshots you are required to take your shoes off. Mugshots are done barefeet. Been there done that.

A 2 inch loss for Hogan, maybe a fraction more if he was over 6'5.

Still 6'3 today.

Hulk was never anything above 6'5 in his prime. You could argue maybe 6'5.5 and closing in on 197 at bis peak maybe in the early 80s/late 70s but he himself corrected a reporter once who called him 6'7 and said he's 6'5" and that was in the early 90s. He wore thick boots. No question he's lost height today. Wouldn't surprise me if he can't even pull up beyond 191, 192 if he's lucky

Except Hall's arrest booking from late 90's said 6'5 and that 101% for sure includes footwear, so absolute tops 6'4 barefeet (peak). Nash was listed 6'10 in basketball, so 6'9 or less barefeet. Hogan at 6'7-6'8 peak is pure fantasies, thats a 3-4 inches overexaggerate to say at least.

bigmike74 said on 6/Jul/16
@RP I'm cool with that 6'5.75 it's very possible. I still think he would hit just over 6'6" out of bed in the 70's and @dicksock i seen that on youtube it does exist but I'm not sure which of the many trial videos that shows it but he does get up and stand by the bailiff when the Judge tells him to to show how Gawker monetarily hurt him because he could no longer wrestle due to his banged up body. Keep looking it's there and Hogan was a inch taller than the 6'3" bailiff both in equal shoes.

Hogan was probably 6'5-6'5.5 peak which would make Studd 6'6.

The tallest Studd could had been was 6'5, as we saw in the video with Bill Fralic, which puts Hogan to a peak of around 6'4... and he's still 6'3 today (i can buy one inch height lost due to age)

JT, Ed Mcmahon was a well know 6'3" , you consistently downgrad everyone's height by at least 1 inch, no matter who they are

I do not know how to upload a video onto this site, but I promise you, Ed Leslie appeared on an episode of Hogan Knows best in 2007 and he was the EXACT SAME HEIGHT as Hogan (they were both barefoot indoors).

Hogan has lost 3-4" in total.

dicksock said on 4/Jul/16
I just remembered something I read on here a while ago. Which poster claimed there is a video of Hogan talking about his height during the Gawker trial? The claim was that Hogan stood up and compared his height with the bailiff to prove he was 6'4". Am I crazy or does that footage not exist? If it does exist, it would be probably the best evidence to upgrade Hogan's current height.

RP said on 4/Jul/16
Bingo, Big Mike 74! Barefoot Hogan 6'5.75"...6'7" wrestkimg boots...6'8" in the ones that had lifts in them that Vince SR gave him in the late 70's ...6'7" Sid barefoot & 6'8.5" in his big wrestling boots = 6'9" billing & etc, etc...etc this is why Andre was originally billed @ 7'1" & 7'2" in the early 1970's...before Wrestlimg promotors wanted to bill him "As The World's Largest Progessional Athlete" ...they had to inflate his initial 7'1" & 7'2" reasonable billing to 7'4"...to ensure he was taller than 7'2" Kareem Abdul-Jabar & another NBA player who was about 7'3" at the time...his name escapes my mind...he was some scrub in-mobile Center that was listed @ 7'3" by the NBA around '74-'75 Andre 7'0" barefoot "peak" & 7'1.25" in wrestling boots have the initial & brief 7'2" billings ...and where actually very believable ...WWF should've stuck with 7'2"! ...7'2" & 450 to 510 lbs is still a giant worthy of the title "8th Wonder Of The World" !

bigmike74 said on 4/Jul/16
Graham 6'4" in shoes/wrestling boots. I've come to the conclusion all wrestling heights are measured in footwear and rounded up. So a 6'8" Hogan rounded up from 6'7.25 to 6'7.5" in gear is accurate in the wrestling world. 6'3" warrior or 6'4" Rock or 6'5" Lex Luger or 6'9" Sid Vicious or 6'1" Shawn Michaels or 6'7" Scott Hall or 6'11" Kevin Nash and the list goes on.

Um... He said he lost over two inches of height and is now 6'? That would mean that was over an even 6'2" bro. He always looked around 6'3" or maybe a tad less in his prime. There is no point in examining the Arnold pics. They're really not a good comparison of height. Look at Graham in live interviews with 6'0.5"-6'1" prime Vince McMahon. He always looked at least 2" taller.

Vince was never taller than the 6'0 tops Bret Hart, if any he was a tad shorter...

_______________

I am aware of this. But, Vince's height has always been tough to judge. There are times when he looked taller than Bret as well. Vince could look anywhere from 6' to 6'2" in any given segment. There was an in-ring interview with Vince and Warrior from 1996, and Vince looked equal in height to the 6'1"-6'2" Ultimate Warrior. He could look the same height as 6'1" Steve Austin as well. I don't if he occasionally wore lifts or if the camera angle played a part, but regardless, I can't see Vince as anything less than a solid 6' in his prime during the 1970s.

bigmike74 said on 2/Jul/16
I can't find the video but it's out there of Hogan and Lou Ferigno from the late 70's on a morning talk show. The guy and girl were interviewing Lou because they were filming in that town.
The guy said we have a Hulk of our own and Hogan came out and introduced himself as Terry Bolder. He towered over Lou when Lou stood up and shook his hand. Hogan had on some silky looking pants on and flip flops with a tiny muscle shirt on. Lou was in jeans and a tank top. Hogan made Lou look small by size not so much muscle definition. His arms and shoulders made Lou's look small. He had a good 3.5" to 4" on him even if Camera angles were giving Hogan that massive boost he still was atleast minimum 3" taller than Lou in high top shoes. A 1977 -79 young Hogan was a huge Man to make a 6'3" to 6'4" man look small. Every angle had Lou's eye level looking at Hogans chin. Maybe some truth to a little taller 6'6" in the a.m.

(Rob give me your opinion before the others either say yes i agree or no he was a comical 6'3.5" prime)

I don't see him as anything under 6'5" in 1992. Other than that, you're pretty much spot on. The best proof of his height in TNA was in his backstage segment with the 6'5" Abyss.

Tyco, Hogan is closer to the camera. On top of that, one can assume Ali's wearing dress shoes (considering his clothes) and chances are Hogan's wearing cowboy boots (like he often did outside the ring). So Hogan might have a double advantage there.

You may be correct. Studd may have been about 1" taller than Hogan. However, there are some good points from 3:59-4:08 to compare their heights. What I find interesting is that even when Studd was standing pretty straight, only a few feet from Hogan, he looked several inches shorter

****************************************

Maybe after all this years on celebheights my brain automatically corrected the cameraangle :)
Yeah I think watching at the cameraposition, Hogan gains a big advantage from that.

Even in the picture to the right, they look the same height. If anything, Hogan still edges him out if you take away Studd's hair. Studd is hard to judge because of the possibility of him wearing lifts. He just doesn't look taller than Hogan there. But, I've seen him look as tall as Ernie Ladd. Studd could look as short as 6'6" and as tall as 6'8" . It's sort of like Hogan. Sometimes Hogan looked legit 6'6" in the 80s, and other times he looked 6'5". As Hollywood Hogan, he could look as low as 6'4", even though I doubt he lost any real height by 1997.

Look & analyz the pics...Arnold is barefoot & Wayne is wearing 0.5" adidas trainers...plus, Arnold is looking down & slouching ...losing another 0.75" to 1" in posture (Wayne is perfectly erect in the biceps pose) this all added up gives Wayne the illusion of being 2" to 2.25" taller than Arnold. When he was actually only 0.5" to 0.75" taller than 6'1.25" to 6'1.5" Arnold. Look at the other pics...especially the side chest pose pic...Wayne is only 1" to 1.25" taller...subtract the 0.5" footwear advantage & he's only 0.5" to 0.75" tLker. Rob, analyze those pics...knowing Arnold is losing the posture battle in most of them & Wayne had a 0.5" footwear advantage & give us your height on Wayne Coleman? "Assuming" Arnold was a legit 6'1.25" to 6'1.5" ???

Canson said on 29/Jun/16
@Big Mike74: of course it's possible but he himself said he was 6'5 in the 90s early 90s when a reporter called him 6'7. Also Bobby3342's father (6'6) met him and said he had him by an inch. Now the 6'6 out of bed may be accurate. But 6'6 out of bed (If flat) would make him 6'5 1/4 maybe 6'5 at night. So in that case he'd be ok at 6'5. That could be an easy inch loss in that profession or he could've been 6'5.5 peak (average height) and gotten down to 6'5 (1/2) later on in life at his lowest.

@RP i seen Graham also in 1978 at a Angels Restaurant in Pensacola FL he was in flat tie die boat shoes and cut off jeans. He was 6'3" easy. Maybe 6'2" at 3 in the a.m. but mid to evening still hitting that mark. Look up the photo with him and Arnold he had 2" on him and ole Arnold was a 6'1 to 6'1.5" guy then.

Bigmike74...Wayne Coleman aka Superstar Billy Graham was only 6'2" peak (barefoot) in his prime. He's shrunk a lot too, last time I saw him, he was BARELY scrapping 6'0"...I'm 5'11" & he was marginally taller than me. At bet best 6'0" now...but, his peak barefoot height was 6'2"...he's even admitted this himself before in shoot interviews.

___________

I have watched several shoots with Graham, and he always claims he was 6'4" and that steroids caused him to shrink to 6'. Where have you heard him say he was only 6'2"? I've always felt he was more like 6'3" in his day.
